Outdoor
Explore nature, feel true team spirit, and live out your inner adventurer on Nordfyns Højskole’s Outdoor subject. You can join Outdoor no matter if you’re experienced and ourdoorsy or just curious about outdoor life. Everyone’s welcome under the open sky!

ALL HOPE IS OUTSIDE!
On the Outdoor subject you will feel, see, smell and taste nature. The outdoor life is wild and raw but also quiet and beautiful, constantly changing. Perhaps nature can also change you? On Outdoor you will learn more about your personal strengths and your potentials, and you will experience a boost of your physical and social skills. In other words: all hope is outside!
Outdoor is basically about practicing different disciplines in nature - in close collaboration with others. Community and teamwork play a crucial role in Outside: we help, encourage, and strengthen each other. When the rain is pouring down and we are standing in mud to our knees, we cheer for one other. Being a vital and indispensable part of a community, will make you discover new aspects of your character and get to know yourself even better.
You will also develop your physical shape, learn to cope in nature as well as establish an understanding of nature itself.
On our countless adventures in the wild, we focus on nature awareness and the fundamental principles behind Nordic outdoor life. You will, among other, get insights in local biodiversity, the aquatic environment and the relationship between humankind and nature.
